M6 in Warwickshire reopens after lorry and three cars crash
- Published
Both carriageways were affected by the early morning collision, National Highways said
A stretch of the M6 in Warwickshire was closed for several hours after a crash involving an HGV and three cars.
The southbound carriageway was shut between junctions three at Coventry and two near Nuneaton following the crash at about 08:20 GMT.
A woman was cut free from one car and taken to hospital in a critical condition along with a teenager from the same vehicle, paramedics said.
Two other people did not require hospital treatment.
The collision briefly shut the northbound side of the motorway to allow two air ambulances to land.
Diversions were put in place before the carriageway was reopened at about 14:00 GMT, National Highways said.
Any witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage should contact Warwickshire Police, the force said.
